The Chalk Effect Climbing Project
Services and organisations that have the Local Offer flash have filled out inclusion information, meaning that they meet the needs of people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
The Chalk project is a physical-mental and social exercise. Inclusive and diverse. Chalk uses an indoor climbing centre in Penryn, Falmouth to instruct indoor rock climbing, Bouldering and Top rope climbing, I instruct the health and safety aspects of safe use of the equipment we use and wear, I will instruct the the safety knots we use and instruct on how to use a belay device.
Along side this we will talk honestly and openly about of worries and fears that come from self in our daily lives, sharing with each other safely gaining in confidence physically, mentally and socially as we go.
It is a self learning and energetic activity for any one, any age, any gender, any size, you do NOT have to be strong to be able to climb, just WILLINGNESS.

Being a recovered alcoholic and poor mental health , a father of 3, i have lots of skills and solutions for the daily struggles of life and how together we can understand them, challenge them and go through them, and being a climber of 25 years and a fully qualified climbing instructor.
We can climb and get well at the same time

Working with individuals one on one or as group sessions.
- Support at key transition points
Climbing can be a great family exercise and sport, i started off with my family all those years back and it was the best time of my younger life and spending time with family is always a good thing to do. Climbing is great at any age, physically-mentally and socially, the energy and thrill when we are the top of a climb is like nothing else and any one can achieve it.
Climbing is a really good family activity
